Winter holidays in Mendoza

Winter holidays in Mendoza fall in July and last two weeks (the exact dates are set each year by the Dirección General de Escuelas). It's high season: there are plays and shows for kids almost every day, workshops at museums and cultural centers, and many people take the chance to go to the snow or take mountain excursions.

Days are usually sunny and cool, but nights are cold and it freezes in the early morning: dress in layers. If you're heading to the mountains, leave early and check road conditions beforehand. For the most popular shows and excursions, it's best to buy tickets or book in advance. Below you'll find the holiday schedule, guides for planning your day and places to go out with the whole family.
